I always try to live by my code of honor. A man is nothing without his honor. "A sin is to betray your beliefs".

## Honorable life
* Don't betray your code of honor.
* Defend your Bushido way.
* Live life as a Honorable Man.
* Don't lie.
* Honesty takes courage.
* Don't talk without a knowledge to support it.
* "Don't argue with the crazy guy".
* Always follow your sense of Justice
* Feel the pain of others.
* Always put your self in people's shoe before making any decision.
* A simple smile goes a long way.
* There's no honor in winning by cheating.
* "If you fall down 7 times make sure to get up 8 times."
* Protect your promises.
* "For a samurai everywhere is Japan."
* Holding back is disrespectful to your opponent.
* Live life in your way.
* "Respect is earned, not given", So earn it.
* "A man is much more than the job he holds and clothes he wears."

## Programming
* Simplicity over Complexity
* Simple first, then Easy
* Abstraction, Abstraction, Abstraction
* Put your conventions layer on top of a well written abstraction
* Always choose a name for your variables which implies the variable content or usage.
* Never ever use variable names such as x, a, b, etc.
* Bugs before new features
* Docs before new features

### New Feature Checklist
* Is it easy to extend the feature ?
* Is it scalable ?
* Is it easy to maintain ?
* Is it well documented ?
* Does it have the best possible performance ?
* What about tests ?
* Is it following the correct coding style ?


### Resiliency Checklist

* Things that might fail:
  * Dependant systems
  * Network
  * External storage
  * Database
  * "The Cloud"

## Trading Checklist
* TBD
